Holy Dinner Communion wine jug

Second half of the 20th century

Calvinists were among the first protestants in Prekmurje in the 16th century. The only operating Slovenian Reformed Christian Church today is situated in Motvarjevci. In front of the church, the bust of Jannus Calvinus has stood since 2017. The light blue glazed jug is shaped like any ordinary wine jug. It differs from others due to its inscription and the fact that in church, it was used at confession and to hold the wine for the Holy Communion. The jug was given to the parish by worshippers and the parish gave it to the Museum of Pomurje, in 2019, as the artefact that bears witness to the life of the religious communities of Pomurje.
